On LCD displays, like those in the VR Headsets I have, the number
of Pixels on the LCD display is actual 'light emitting' 
elements. As 3 elements are used for each pixel (R,G and B)
you also have to divide Advertised number by 3.

So, the trend for marketting is the number of elements and
not the number of pixels.
